Alexa Luria is a multifaceted talent known for her prowess as a food writer, certified health coach, and advocate for Lyme disease awareness. However, she first garnered public attention as the childhood friend of pop sensation Ariana Grande. Their friendship blossomed from a chance pairing by a school PE teacher, leading to a bond that transcended time and fame.

Before Grande’s rise to stardom, Luria and Grande showcased their shared passion for music through a YouTube video lamenting the absence of the musical “13”. This friendship endured as Grande found success, with Luria making cameo appearances in various music videos, including “Die in Your Arms”, “Break Free”, “7 Rings”, and “Thank U, Next”.

Beyond the glitz of the entertainment industry, Luria faced a personal challenge in 2020 when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Turning her experience into a platform for advocacy, she penned an article detailing her journey to diagnosis for Women’s Health magazine. Through her social media presence and other platforms, she continues to raise awareness about Lyme disease, emphasizing the importance of healing and love.

Despite the challenges that sometimes strain friendships in the public eye, Luria and Grande weathered their own storm. In 2020, Grande’s decision to unfollow Luria on Instagram sparked speculation, but their bond proved resilient when Grande followed her friend once again in 2021, signaling a renewed chapter in their enduring friendship. Through both triumphs and trials, Alexa Luria remains a steadfast presence in Grande’s life and an inspiration to many.
